I have not been reading news all that long so forgive me if this subject has
been run into the ground already.  (With the disclaimer out of the way)
I find myself wondering how other folks deal with ex-lovers.  I have
found that I become quite bitter and angry for a fairly lengthy period,
i.e. many, many months after a breakup.  I usually get over it
eventually.  I suspect that the length of time of anger is proportional
to the length of time spent in the relationship and the true depth of
feeling in the relationship.  I also find that I never become close to
my ex-lovers even as friends.  I usually just get comfortable being
around them again but nothing more serious than that.
